Wagner: Götterdämmerung - Ligendza, Cox, Ridderbusch, Mazura, Martin, Reynolds, Neidlinger; Stein. Bayreuth, 1972
$18.95
Description:
Catarina Ligendza delivers a memorable conclusion to the cycle with a Götterdämmerung Brünnhilde that strikes a compelling balance between intimacy and grandeur. Jean Cox sustains impressive vocal beauty throughout the marathon demands of Siegfried, a feat as rare as it is admirable. Karl Ridderbusch, long a favorite at Bayreuth in the role of Hagen, is in commanding form—suave, sinister, and utterly convincing. Franz Mazura brings unusual insight to Gunther, imbuing the character with emotional nuance often overlooked. Ursula Schröder-Feinen also makes a vivid impression in her brief turn as the Third Norn.
Note: Act II contains intermittent skipping.
